I can't believe anyone answered this for you! My guess is that in the begining of your pregnancy your anxiety kept you up at nite worrying because of the miscarriages. everyone worries more at nite. now you got yourself flipped around again. My advice is to try to flip yourself again. Plan activities you can only do during the day and MAKE yourself go. MAKE yourself a bedtime routine...a warm bath, glass of warm milk, soothing music, no tv, etc. and go to bed at a decent time. you may need to adjust the time back hour by hour, but you can do it! Start at a 3 a.m bedtime and just keep moving it back. or you can go cold and pull an "all dayer" as opposed to an all nighter. Don't go to bed at 6 a.m...force yourself to stay awake all day and then go to bed at say...7 pm and sleep all nite.
